linuxdeployqt is a Linux deployment tool that makes applications self-contained by copying in the libraries and plugins they use, producing an AppDir or AppImage. It is conceptually based on Qt's macdeployqt and works with Qt and other compiled applications.
Use cases
- package a Qt application as an AppImage
- bundle libraries and plugins into a self-contained Linux app
- distribute a Linux binary that runs across distributions
- deploy a CMake or qmake build as an AppDir
- create a minimal Qt runtime subset for my app
When to choose
- you want to distribute a Linux desktop application as a single portable AppImage
- you need to bundle Qt libraries and plugins with your application
- you want cross-distribution binaries built on an older Ubuntu LTS
When to avoid
- you need actively developed tooling - the author recommends go-appimage instead
- you target non-Linux platforms
- you want distribution-native packages like deb or rpm
